Description
Check video of the actual single for sale:
“Youth Gone Wild” is the debut single by Skid Row and the lead single from their 1989 eponymous debut album.
Its music video received heavy airplay on MTV; however, while the album itself was a major hit and went multi-platinum in the U.S. and other countries, “Youth Gone Wild” as a single only reached #99 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached #20 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.
The song was paid obvious homage to by Finger Elevens Paralyzer, released in 2007. The song is played at many sports arenas including at the United Center when the Chicago Blackhawks hit the ice. The State College Moose of the Nittany Hockey League also use it as their theme song during warm-ups. “Youth Gone Wild” is also featured as a playable song on the Guitar Hero: On Tour game for the Nintendo DS, the drum simulation game Rock Revolution, and as downloadable content for Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol Encore 2 for the PlayStation 3. It is also part of the soundtrack for Brütal Legend.
This song was also featured in WWJ as the theme for the returning Isaac O’Neill and has been covered by several bands including HammerFall, Sign and Norther.

YOUTH GONE WILD (Skid Row, 1989)
It originally had a different set of lyrics. But Rachel then went away and rewrote them. It was then that I understood he was a lot better as a lyricist than I was. He sees things from an interesting and obscure perspective. Rachel can take an idea we’ve come up with, lock himself away in a room and come back with 17 pages full of great lyrics! At the time we did Youth Gone Wild, we were in in our early 20s and wanted a song that would be representative of us. This was it. (said Dave ‘Snake’ Sabo)
